Gets a value indicating whether the application has requested cancellation of a background operation.

true if the application has requested cancellation of a background operation; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the CancellationPending property to query a BackgroundWorker about its cancellation state. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the BackgroundWorker class.
// Abort the operation if the user has cancelled.
// Note that a call to CancelAsync may have set
// CancellationPending to true just after the
// last invocation of this method exits, so this
// code will not have the opportunity to set the
// DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel flag to true. This means
// that RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs.Cancelled will
// not be set to true in your RunWorkerCompleted
// event handler. This is a race condition.
if ( worker->CancellationPending )
{
e->Cancel = true;
}
else
{
if ( n < 2 )
{
result = 1;
}
else
{
result = ComputeFibonacci( n - 1, worker, e ) + ComputeFibonacci( n - 2, worker, e );
}
// Report progress as a percentage of the total task.
int percentComplete = (int)((float)n / (float)numberToCompute * 100);
if ( percentComplete > highestPercentageReached )
{
highestPercentageReached = percentComplete;
worker->ReportProgress( percentComplete );
}
}
// Abort the operation if the user has canceled.
// Note that a call to CancelAsync may have set
// CancellationPending to true just after the
// last invocation of this method exits, so this
// code will not have the opportunity to set the
// DoWorkEventArgs.Cancel flag to true. This means
// that RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs.Cancelled will
// not be set to true in your RunWorkerCompleted
// event handler. This is a race condition.
if (worker.CancellationPending)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
else
{
if (n < 2)
{
result = 1;
}
else
{
result = ComputeFibonacci(n - 1, worker, e) +
ComputeFibonacci(n - 2, worker, e);
}
// Report progress as a percentage of the total task.
int percentComplete =
(int)((float)n / (float)numberToCompute * 100);
if (percentComplete > highestPercentageReached)
{
highestPercentageReached = percentComplete;
worker.ReportProgress(percentComplete);
}
}

Remarks
If CancellationPending is true, then the CancelAsync method has been called on the BackgroundWorker.
This property is meant for use by the worker thread, which should periodically check CancellationPending and abort the background operation when it is set to true.
